This one was done for the "Art Bra 4" show at 40 Acres Gallery this weekend. Not exactly plein air, but lots of fun!

A color study completed early this summer. I took the idea from a stetch of William Pond done this winter. My largest painting to date at 60" by 36".

With limited choices, painting or blogging in my free time, I chose painting this spring. Yolo County, California, Ag and Art program offers painters unique opportunities to paint on farms in Yolo County. This is one landscape I did this spring at Putah Creek Ranch. The day was overcast and windy, but the views were great! Thank you Ag and Art!

I started this one at Bodega Dunes and finished it at home. It was for a friend that had hung my very first painting, which of course wasn't very good. I thought she totally deserved an update!

Steve posed for Christmas at S12 Gallery. I thought he made a perfect Scrooge! Hope all of you had a great holiday season. A late Merry Christmas!
